Quote - JF- very few hits?  very few comments? 181 views on an image with a  thumbnail of a foot is very few?

Compared to this, yes:

Over 50,000 hits for a picture of a cow's udders. ;-)

Quote - 115 in one day? 13 people adding you as a favorite artist, and 32 adding your images as favorites?   wow, you have pretty high expectations, imho. 

No, I just hold myself to a high standard. After all, I HAVE to do better than a picture of a cow's udders. ;-)

Quote -  i think you're doing pretty well, considering the size of the community and how many are vying for attention.

You may be right. =)
